LRF output - Page 30

I did a few test and and got mixed results. However, the reason I wasn't achieving the result I wanted is that
blank spaces will be ignored before the text but will be used after the txt start. Here is the code

Here is another question. I noticed that in a book I bought from Sony Connect : (Anansi Boys), the table of content (in the table of contents section) displays 4 items. Copyright, TOC, About, Begin.

However the TOC that is part of the text itself (which are simply html links) is quite elaborate, with individual chapters listed.

I find that I like this.

Is there a way we can code HTML so that we can pick and choose which elements html2lrf will include in the Table of Contents section of the book?

I know you can do it in Book Designer. But I've never seen or read about a way to do this with html2lrf

Split the HTML file into a toc file and a main file. ut the links you want to go into the TOC in the toc file and the rest in the main file. Run html2lrf on the toc file.

Which ToC will show up in the Sony ToC (aka the menu) and which will only show up in the book?

toc -> TOC main -> file

This will be fixed sometime after 0.4.0.

So I just got a piece of software called Solid Converter PDF (sorry it's a windows product, and it's proprietary). However, it's PDF to MS Word conversion is simply amazon. It brings over everything (and I mean everything). The only problem that I've seen, or the only thing that isn't exact is that the bullets used are squares in the PDF and dashes in the word doc. (That's good enough).

This means that it is possible to do a PDF to HTML that is solid, keeps all the formatting, and then can be formatted down to LRF to look "just like" the original.

kovidgoyal · 09-19-2007, 04:18 PM

Is the word doc reflowable? export it to html and see what happens when you resize the window it is viewed in.

silkcom · 09-19-2007, 04:39 PM

I can highlight text and all that. I converted it to RTF, asside from loosing some text background colors (which a somewhat important but I can live without them), the conversion was definately amazing, and totally readable.

Doc's html converter isn't the best, it lost a bunch of the formatting, but the doc to rtf worked great.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to say that, but I cannot have the libprs500 to work. I'm having an error message. That's what is written in the log file: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 696, in <module>
File "main.py", line 688, in main
File "main.py", line 132, in __init__

Will be fixed in the next version.

Hi kovidgoyal,

Even with --bottom-margin=0 (which is the default, incidentally), there still seems to be quite a gap at the bottom, which doesn't happen for left/top/right. Is this normal, or am I missing something?

Btw, thanks for this great program.

kovidgoyal · 09-24-2007, 10:44 AM

That's a safety feature to catch any "overflow" from formatting errors.
